At long last, the first trailer forBill & Ted Face the Musichas arrived. The highly anticipated sequelBill & Ted 3has been in the works for a long, long time with original screenwritersEd SolomonandChris Mathesonreturning to craft a new story alongsideKeanu ReevesandAlex Winter.

The new film picks up in real time as William “Bill” S. Preston Esq. and Theodore “Ted’ Logan have reached middle age and still have yet to write the song that will save the world. An inciting event enacts a ticking clock, and Bill and Ted must set out on a new adventure to find the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe. This time, however, they’re joined by their daughters, played bySamara WeavingandBrigette Lundy-Paine, in addition to new historical figures, familiar faces, and a few music legends.

The added twist toBill & Ted 3, as revealed in this trailer, is that Bill and Ted decide that instead of writing the song that will change the world, they’ll just travel to the future to when they’ve already written it and steal it from themselves which is just… so perfect. We get a taste of what that entails when Bill and Ted encounter Prison Bill and Prison Ted, who are buffed out of their minds, and I can’t wait to see what other versions of these characters we’ll meet within the context of this sequel.

The world could use moreBill & Tedright now, so I’m happy to see this film is still scheduled for release this year.
